I’ve had this snook for a while and was wondering if anyone could tell me what species this is. Sorry for the poor quality, this fish hides a lot and I haven’t been able to get a better picture recently
I think it was mentioned that it was a black snook. Appears to have one short spine in front of the dorsal. I didn't realize there were that many different ones out there.
Unless you know where it was caught and can count dorsal spines and rays it will be almost impossible to agree on id. Even on the larger fish in the post supplied an actual id could not be agreed on, even by snook “experts”
From the photo supplied only I would suggest most resemblance to swordspine snook but it is only a guess without more info and better picture.
